I got this as part of the Hugo Packet
I got started reading this for The Sound of Children Screaming by Rachael K Jones and curiousity kept me reading and I actually enjoyed The Cello in the Cell by David Janisch. I'm not a big reader of horror but both of those stories stood out for me. More the Cello one than the Children one.
The sound of Children Screaming is a portal story, set during a school shooting. Where a teacher and some of her children find a door in the safe pod in the class and when they go through they discover a world that seems to want children to be their leaders, as this is a horror story you can see where this might lead... this says a lot about school shootings where an unknown might be more attractive than facing the possibility of someone coming in to kill.
The Cello in the Cell is a story of a futuristic penal system where when you enter you get a cello and there is compulsory recitals of one piece, over and over and you are supposed to try to learn to play it. But you have no music, the cello is out of tune and over time it begins to eat at you. As someone who played an instrument for many years a lot of it sounds like torture.
The others were interesting but didn't really engage me that much.… (more)

Very short story read for SFF group because it is a finalist for World Fantasy Awards. Supposed to be horror. I found it weird, lame, awkward, meh. Others in the group were also unimpressed. Too bad.
